Potter & Potter Auctions is pleased to announce this 555-lot sale to be held on Saturday, June 21, starting at 10 a.m. CST. It is the fourth offering of materials from Ken Klosterman (1933-2020) the owner and CEO of Klosterman Baking Company and a celebrated magic collector. This event will be held live at Potter & Potters gallery, located at 5001 W. Belmont Ave. in Chicago, Ill. It will also be live streamed on the companys website at www.potterauctions.com. The expected top lot in this sale is an archive of Karl Germain (American, b. Charles Mattmueller, 1878-1959) manuscripts, programs, and research material spanning the 1890s-1970s time frame. It includes hundreds of pages of documents housed in three volumes. The first contains manuscripts, typescripts, drawings, and other compositions in Germains hand. The second contains ephemeral relics from Germains career, including programs, newspaper and magazine clippings, handbills, brochures, letters, and much more. And the third is comprised of typescripts, correspondence, and related material from the careers of the two magicians most responsible for growing and elevating Germains legacy: Paul Fleming and Stewart Cramer. This is a revealing, expansive, informative, and important archive that shows the trajectory of Germains career; his thought processes; how he performed many of his most famous feats; and the lasting legacy he created, which was enhanced and expanded by Paul Fleming and Stewart Cramer, noted the catalog. A life cast of Cardinis (British American, b. Richard Pitchford, 18951973) right hand is a plaster cast in a box bearing his wife and assistant Swan Cardinis handwriting. This item was sold previously through Potter & Potter Auctions at their Cardini: The Suave Deceiver sale in 2013. An Appearing Magic Kettle was made in Los Angeles, Calif., by John Gaughan in the early 2000s after a design of Carl Willmann. With this illusion, the performer produces a tea kettle from an empty foulard, then pours any drink called for from it. This is one of six examples manufactured by Gaughan. It is housed in a mahogany carrying case which also holds six cordial glasses. Ken Klostermans name is engraved on a brass plaque affixed to the case lid. Ken Klosterman assembled one of the finest collections of magicana in the world. Known as the Salon de Magie, this museum down the mineshaft (housed in an abandoned mine under his home outside of Cincinnati, Ohio), held treasures from the careers of every major magician of the 19thand 20th centuries. This is Potter & Potters fourth sale of items from Klostermans legendary collection and the largest to date. The first auction from the Salon de Magie broke nearly every record known for magic collectibles offered at public auction, and from the moment the catalog for this sale was published, we received a strong response from bidders new and old and are expecting a spirited day of bidding, stated Gabe Fajuri, president at Potter & Potter Auctions.
